The head node is not rebooting during this process. It is simply up and running; a good example of this is a node installation. On the head node, I am running the OSCAR Wizard; I am in the monitor cluster screen, and the nodes are installing. Upon completion of the install, I set them to reboot. They reboot (with the head node still up, running the OSCAR Wizard), and no NFS file systems. When I click the "complete cluster setup" button after they reboot, it says success, and then do the "test cluster setup," the new nodes do not have /home mounted, and that test fails... --Joe

If you don't the client nodes boot much faster than the head (because they run so few services) and they will generaly finish booting before the nfs server is up, so the mounts fail.
